2008-07-26[PATCH] sanitize proc_sysctlAl Viro
* keep references to ctl_table_head and ctl_table in /proc/sys inodes * grab the former during operations, use the latter for access to entry if that succeeds * have ->d_compare() check if table should be seen for one who does lookup; that allows us to avoid flipping inodes - if we have the same name resolve to different things, we'll just keep several dentries and ->d_compare() will reject the wrong ones. * have ->lookup() and ->readdir() scan the table of our inode first, then walk all ctl_table_header and scan ->attached_by for those that are attached to our directory. * implement ->getattr(). * get rid of insane amounts of tree-walking * get rid of the need to know dentry in ->permission() and of the contortions induced by that.

2008-07-26[PATCH] sysctl: keep track of tree relationshipsAl Viro
In a sense, that's the heart of the series. It's based on the following property of the trees we are actually asked to add: they can be split into stem that is already covered by registered trees and crown that is entirely new. IOW, if a/b and a/c/d are introduced by our tree, then a/c is also introduced by it. That allows to associate tree and table entry with each node in the union; while directory nodes might be covered by many trees, only one will cover the node by its crown. And that will allow much saner logics for /proc/sys in the next patches. This patch introduces the data structures needed to keep track of that. When adding a sysctl table, we find a "parent" one. Which is to say, find the deepest node on its stem that already is present in one of the tables from our table set or its ancestor sets. That table will be our parent and that node in it - attachment point. Add our table to list anchored in parent, have it refer the parent and contents of attachment point. Also remember where its crown lives. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-07-26[PATCH] sysctl: make sure that /proc/sys/net/ipv4 appears before per-ns onesAl Viro
Massage ipv4 initialization - make sure that net.ipv4 appears as non-per-net-namespace before it shows up in per-net-namespace sysctls. That's the only change outside of sysctl.c needed to get sane ordering rules and data structures for sysctls (esp. for procfs side of that mess). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-07-26[PATCH] allow delayed freeing of ctl_table_headerAl Viro
Refcount the sucker; instead of freeing it by the end of unregistration just drop the refcount and free only when it hits zero. Make sure that we _always_ make ->unregistering non-NULL in start_unregistering(). That allows anybody to get a reference to such puppy, preventing its freeing and reuse. It does *not* block unregistration. Anybody who holds such a reference can * try to grab a "use" reference (ctl_head_grab()); that will succeeds if and only if it hadn't entered unregistration yet. If it succeeds, we can use it in all normal ways until we release the "use" reference (with ctl_head_finish()). Note that this relies on having ->unregistering become non-NULL in all cases when one starts to unregister the sucker. * keep pointers to ctl_table entries; they *can* be freed if the entire thing is unregistered. However, if ctl_head_grab() succeeds, we know that unregistration had not happened (and will not happen until ctl_head_finish()) and such pointers can be used safely. IOW, now we can have inodes under /proc/sys keep references to ctl_table entries, protecting them with references to ctl_table_header and grabbing the latter for the duration of operations that require access to ctl_table. That won't cause deadlocks, since unregistration will not be stopped by mere keeping a reference to ctl_table_header. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-07-26[PATCH] beginning of sysctl cleanup - ctl_table_setAl Viro
New object: set of sysctls [currently - root and per-net-ns]. Contains: pointer to parent set, list of tables and "should I see this set?" method (->is_seen(set)). Current lists of tables are subsumed by that; net-ns contains such a beast. ->lookup() for ctl_table_root returns pointer to ctl_table_set instead of that to ->list of that ctl_table_set.

2008-07-26[patch] vfs: fix lookup on deleted directoryMiklos Szeredi
Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory. This keeps the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on disk, even after all external references have gone away. This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the inode. But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can overflow. Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory before creating a child dentry. Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing.

2008-07-27mmc: Add per-card debugfs supportHaavard Skinnemoen
For each card successfully added to the bus, create a subdirectory under the host's debugfs root with information about the card. At the moment, only a single file is added to the card directory for all cards: "state". It reflects the "state" field in struct mmc_card, indicating whether the card is present, readonly, etc. For MMC and SD cards (not SDIO), another file is added: "status". Reading this file will ask the card about its current status and return it. This can be useful if the card just refuses to respond to any commands, which might indicate that the card state is not what the MMC core thinks it is (due to a missing stop command, for example.)
